Sweet Pads IV

This is old news to most people, and I would have mentioned it earlier, but it was hard to find pictures at first. But Trevor Leahy , a prep hockey player, has desinged some interesting pads. The pads are suppose to look like netting of an open goal, to atttempt to fool the shooter into [...]

Sweet Pads III

Our first Sweet Pads post that comes from the NHL. Last month Carey Price wore some sweet throwback pads in commemoration of the Habs Centenial celebration. The jerseys themselves, which the team wore between the years of 1913-1916,  are pretty sweet too. But the pads are not a sweet as these ones he wore for [...]

He Wore THAT Number?!?! Part I

There are certain players in the history of hockey that become associated with one number. But some of those players we associate with a particular number that we think they have worn their whole career, may have in fact not always worn the number we think they did.

Rules Need Not Apply

First off, I am back and with vengeance (no not really). But with the start of a new season, I thought I would get back into this blog business. You all know about the 3rd sweater being reintroduced into the league this year and I may handle that in due time. But there are more [...]

You may not have noticed…

Marty Turco’s mask(s).

‘Tis the middle of the playoffs in the NHL, and the Devils are out. So now I can sit back and relax and watch and notice little things that a normal person should not. One thing that I have noticed these playoffs is Marty Turco. No, not that he finally won a playoff [...]
